the swing went back and forth as i moved my legs
my skin shivered a little as the cool wind whispered to iti pushed my legs a little more
forcing my body upwards just in hopes to stroke the sky
but we all know what happens
when one wishes to reach the sky without watching their steps, they falland i did fell
from the heaven's high above to burn in the endless inferno undergroundso i pushed and pushed and pushed
until my calves burnt
and no air was left in my lungs
teeth biting on lips hard
hands clasping the chain of the swing
while my eyes glistened with unshed tearsbut soon the swing lost its momentum, slowing down
and so did the burning all overi wiped the silent tears, leaving no traces
and rose up to go home
with my freezing skin and burning soul leaving the swing swinging back and forthrunahem
